Dissociating the roles of the cerebellum and motor cortex during adaptive learning: the motor cortex retains what the cerebellum learns

JM Galea, A Vazquez, N Pasricha… - Cerebral …, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Adaptation to a novel visuomotor transformation has revealed important principles
regarding learning and memory. Computational and behavioral studies have suggested that …

Modulation of cerebellar excitability by polarity-specific noninvasive direct current stimulation

JM Galea, G Jayaram, L Ajagbe… - Journal of …, 2009 - Soc Neuroscience
The cerebellum is a crucial structure involved in movement control and cognitive processing.
Noninvasive stimulation of the cerebellum results in neurophysiological and behavioral …

[HTML][HTML] Consensus paper: towards a systems-level view of cerebellar function: the interplay between cerebellum, basal ganglia, and cortex

…, J Houk, H Jörntell, A Lago-Rodriguez, JM Galea… - The Cerebellum, 2017 - Springer
Despite increasing evidence suggesting the cerebellum works in concert with the cortex and
basal ganglia, the nature of the reciprocal interactions between these three brain regions …

[HTML][HTML] Dopamine, affordance and active inference

…, T Shiner, T FitzGerald, JM Galea… - PLoS computational …, 2012 - journals.plos.org
The role of dopamine in behaviour and decision-making is often cast in terms of reinforcement
learning and optimal decision theory. Here, we present an alternative view that frames the …

The dissociable effects of punishment and reward on motor learning

JM Galea, E Mallia, J Rothwell, J Diedrichsen - Nature neuroscience, 2015 - nature.com
A common assumption regarding error-based motor learning (motor adaptation) in humans
is that its underlying mechanism is automatic and insensitive to reward- or punishment-…

[PDF][PDF] Speech facilitation by left inferior frontal cortex stimulation

R Holland, AP Leff, O Josephs, JM Galea, M Desikan… - Current Biology, 2011 - cell.com
Electrophysiological studies in humans and animals suggest that noninvasive neurostimulation
methods such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can elicit long-lasting [1], …

Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) a novel approach to understanding cerebellar function in health and disease

…, F Fregni, JM Galea, M Hamada, M Manto… - The …, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com

Human locomotor adaptive learning is proportional to depression of cerebellar excitability

G Jayaram, JM Galea, AJ Bastian, P Celnik - Cerebral Cortex, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Human locomotor adaptive learning is thought to involve the cerebellum, but the
neurophysiological mechanisms underlying this process are not known. While animal research has …

Brain polarization enhances the formation and retention of motor memories

JM Galea, P Celnik - Journal of neurophysiology, 2009 - journals.physiology.org
One of the first steps in the acquisition of a new motor skill is the formation of motor memories.
Here we tested the capacity of transcranial DC stimulation (tDCS) applied over the motor …

Disruption of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex facilitates the consolidation of procedural skills

JM Galea, NB Albert, T Ditye, RC Miall - Journal of cognitive …, 2010 - direct.mit.edu
In explicit sequence learning tasks, an improvement in performance (skill) typically occurs
after sleep—leading to the recent literature on sleep-dependent motor consolidation. …
